Brewbound.com, BevNET.com’s web site dedicated to covering the craft beer industry, is pleased to announce the return of live video streaming to its second semi-annual Craft Beer Session event. Video will be broadcast from the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City between 9:00 a.m. EST and 5:30 p.m. EST on Tuesday, June 5th and can be accessed by visiting http://www.brewbound.com.

“Since its start in 2010, Brewbound has quickly evolved into a leading resource for the craft beer community,” says John Craven, CEO and founder of Brewbound’s parent company, BevNET.com, Inc. “We were very excited to expand our offerings last year with the introduction of the Craft Beer Session, and hope to extend our reach even further by offering the industry’s only live streamed conference for craft beer professionals. While a video stream can never replace the networking and educational opportunities that a live event provides, it does make the content from our great speakers more easily accessible to those who can’t attend.”

The Craft Beer Session gives skilled craft brewers and other industry professionals a unique opportunity to learn from and network with industry experts. The conference aims to address the topics that directly impact craft brewers as they look to refine their brands and grow their businesses by discussing topics such as distribution, marketing, merchandising, selling strategies and capital financing.

“There are so many brands fighting for shelf space in today’s market and it’s becoming increasingly important to stand out,” said Brewbound.com Editor Chris Furnari. “The Craft Beer Session helps provide brewers the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in an ever-growing craft landscape.”

The event is expected to draw over 100 brewers, distributors and other beer industry members and will feature presentations, panel discussions, live Q&A with industry experts, and structured networking and sampling breaks. Among others, notable speakers and panelists include Greg Koch, CEO and Co-founder of Stone Brewing; Steve Hindy, President and Co-founder of Brooklyn Brewing; Adam Lambert, VP of Sales for Dogfish Head Brewing; and Alan Newman, Founder of Alchemy & Science.

Attendees of the Craft Beer Session will also have the opportunity to attend the BevNET Live Cocktail & Beer Reception on June 4th and network with over five hundred beverage industry distributors, suppliers, and retailers.
